Adam Lambert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll never believe what I heard on the wire
I know it ain't right, it's getting so tired
If we put up a fight, we'll be fueling the fire
'Cause now all the things that we said and done
Twisted around, turned 'em wrong
Feels like all the love is gone
We get stuck up inside our heads
Talk s*** 'til we're walking dead
Talk s*** 'til we're walking dead (dead dead)
Why do we care about the rumors, baby
Yeah, why do we care about the rumors, baby
Oh, 'cause I don't need to lie to you
You'll never break my heart
Yeah, you'll find the truth here in my arms
So can you tell me why do we care about the rumors, baby
The envy runs deep, the jealousy down low
It's easy to see, but it's harder to let go
We ain't gonna hide (we ain't gonna hide)
We know what they don't know
A hell of a ride, I swear I'll hold you close
'Cause now all the things that we said and done
Twisted around, turned 'em wrong
Feels like all the love is gone
We lost it
We get stuck up inside our heads
Talk s*** 'til we're walking dead
Talk s*** 'til we're walking dead (dead dead)
Why do we care about the rumors, baby
Yeah, why do we care about the rumors, baby
Oh, 'cause I don't need to lie to you
You'll never break my heart
Yeah, you'll find the truth here in my arms
So can you tell me why do we care about the rumors, baby
Try to keep an open heart, try to just let down your guard
Don't, don't care about the rumors, babe
Get out of the gossip game, get out of the haterade
Don't, don't care about, don't care about
Don't care about the rumors
(Don't care about, don't care about)
Rumors
Rumors, don't care about the rumors
Why do we care about the rumors, baby
Yeah, why do we care about the rumors, baby
Oh, 'cause I don't need to lie to you
You'll never break my heart
Yeah, you'll find the truth here in my arms
So can you tell me why do we care about the rumors, baby
In "Rumors" by Adam Lambert, he sings about the destructive and tiring nature of believing and spreading rumors. The chorus asks the question, "Why do we care about the rumors, baby?" as he tries to convince his lover that the truth can always be found in his arms and they don't need to worry about what others are saying.
The opening verse acknowledges that they may have gone too deep and gotten too high on their own beliefs and rumors about each other. They may have said and done things that have been twisted and turned around, leading to a loss of love between them. However, they refuse to give up and put up a fight, determined to hold on to their love.
The bridge urges them to keep an open heart and not care about the rumors, to get out of the gossip game and the negativity that comes with it. The song ends with repeating the chorus and the message that they don't need to care about the rumors because the truth can always be found in each other's arms.
Overall, the song is about the damaging effects of rumors on relationships and how it's important to trust each other and not give in to the negativity that comes with it.
